The Whispering Key

< Packs are like palaces with territories and borders. All the pack members live in the vast building where the king (alpha) and queen (Luna) live as well>

I tried to squeeze myself under his tight grip around my neck. His large claws started digging into my flesh.

'I want you to shift.' he ordered, carefully word by word.

'I can't.' my wolf, Sparkle, replied to the black, large wolf who was on top of us. He added more pressure to my neck.

I started getting breathless and lightheaded due to the lack of oxygen. Even Sparkle started feeling suffocated.

'Shift,' he ordered again, the second time, with a slight warning in his voice.

With wide eyes, I realised there was no escape... the giant wolf was right above me, ready to snap and break my neck any moment. I was just a tiny creature lying beneath. I was defenceless.

I closed my eyes and calmed myself down as a start. I felt the wolf above me adding more pressure to my neck, and I knew it would be bruised and visible later on. I released a shaky breath and started shifting back to my human self.

I arched my back as all the bent-up bones cracked to straight ones; it was painful. The tiny claws of my wolf hid behind, and my human limbs appeared. The beasty-looking nails got replaced with small trimmed nails. The fur disappeared and left my pale skin visible to him.

The wolf above me moved away as soon as I shifted to my human form.

And I was naked as the day I was born.

I shyly covered myself, watching the dark wolf, who then started sniffing around as if looking for something. He walked away from me while my eyes started looking around for an escape. A few seconds later, the wolf came back with some clothes, carrying them with his teeth.

'Blue is asking whether those are our clothes or not', Sparkle said in my mind.

'Oh, they are... Who is Blue, by the way?' I asked back in my mind.

'It's the wolf... oh-'

'W-what happened?'

'Grey is so mad you didn't shift when he told you first.. and probably waiting for you to talk.'

'Who's Grey again?'

'The human.'

I hummed at Sparkle, eagerly watching the large wolf standing a few meters away from me.

The wolf tossed the clothes at me, which were between his teeth... they were the clothes that I left before shifting into my wolf form. I quickly hugged the clothes and waited for the wolf to look elsewhere so I could change back.

He turned in the opposite direction facing away from me when he got my silent request. I quickly slipped myself into my clothes. Afterwards, with quiet and quick steps, I walked behind the large tree that was next to me.

I saw how the black wolf patiently waited for me to change and tell him... but I didn't. I couldn't! All I wanted was to hide from him so bad. I badly wanted to turn around and run away. He looked ferocious.

I gripped at the slippery tree side, looking eagerly at the foreign wolf. From his look, I knew he wasn't someone from my pack, but he was from another pack... or a rouge, I assumed. It brought me into my thoughts...

'How did he cross the borders? Why aren't my pack members chasing him away? Or killing him?'

Cause my pack members were ruthless to that point, they used to kill whoever passed the borders... small or big.

The wolf turned around after a while, and our eyes met for a second. He quickly looked down, focusing on something else.

As I continued watching him, I saw his fur turning back to human skin.. he was shifting to his human form just like I did. I watched him breathing heavily as his bones cracked and bent in specific directions. It was one painful process for werewolves to shift back and fore; the process breaks all their bones when they shift.

I was a werewolf, after all. Being another werewolf, I knew how painful the process was, and the shifting was so painful, especially when I was a 'weak' omega.

My lips parted in surprise as the wolf... now a human stood in front of me all naked, just like when I shifted to my human form.

I couldn't take my eyes away. His dominating structure, the piercing gaze, kept me rooted to where I was. I felt tiny all of a sudden.

He shook his head with a slight smirk appearing on the corner of his lips when he caught me staring at him. He bent down to pick up his clothes.

I pursed my lips and shamelessly watched as he put on his clothes.

I didn't know what was wrong with me.. the only thing I knew was I couldn't take my eyes away from him. I felt captured.

My heart was crazily beating inside its cage; my mind was running a thousand miles per second.

"Done staring?" he asked, which made me release a silent gasp.
